## Summary

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has completed a public procurement process titled "Exit survey with consumers to inform a CMA merger investigation". This tender was classified under research services (CPV: 73110000) and market research services (CPV: 79310000). The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 14th August 2018, and the contract period commenced on 20th August 2018, with a total contract value of £289,985, scheduled to conclude by 31st December 2019. The contract delivery was set to take place in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research and market analysis, particularly those able to conduct consumer surveys and gather evidence for regulatory investigations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited for competition, especially if they specialise in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Engaging in such contracts can enhance a business’s portfolio and reputation while contributing to the evidence-based decision-making processes of regulatory bodies.

## Notice

Primary research with consumers is required to inform the evidence-gathering on this case. In the course of a market study or market investigation, a merger case, super-complaint investigation or other regulatory/enforcement activity, the CMA may need to commission consumer research as part of its evidence-gathering process. Research projects can be national (GB/UK), regional or local in scope, and our requirements range in scale and complexity.
